o portunity for you to prove your in
t,rest sincere in getting an "honest
Republican" victory. But you will
not do it. You will do your devoirs
to elect your man with all his imper-
fections on his head. You will aid
him, and abet him in all he does to-
morrow. You will probably be his
ablest lieutenant in all his endeavors !;
and should the city be so unfortun-
ate as to be afflicted by his
election you will rejoice thereat, how
ever he may get his votes. And
should he sit for two years IN the
Council and there vote for the accept
ance of his own contracts and the
payment of his own bills, no matter
how badly these contracts may be
performed, no matter how extortion-
ate these bills may be, we risk our

ton that you will never lift your voice
nor pen one word of remonstrance
against his acts. More than this, we
prophesy that you will back him in

Ar TIE meeting of the Board of
State Prison Directors yesterday at
San Quentin, some important changes
were made in the management of the
State penitentiaries. Mr.. Paul Shir-
ley resigned as Warden of San Quen-
tin, and General John McComb was
elected to the place. Captain Chas.
Aull was elected to the Wardenship Of
Folsom Prison, vice General McComb.
1t is understood that General MhComb
made certain stipulations prior to his
election, which will give him the Sc
lection of his principle officers. The
State is fortunate in having man of
General McComb's strength of char
acter and pathological aptitudes to
take charge of her principal prison.
Under mis- Wardenship, San Quentin
will soon be converted into a model
prison, the same as he raised that at
Folsom from wretched and repulsive
penitentiary to one of the most cred
table penal institutions in the United
Stotac

DEMOCRATS in all wards in the city
should get out tomorrow and vote for
their entire ticket. 1t is an important
matter. This city should not be given
over to be ruled by any clique oil mar
row views. The fight is not an easy
one to win. No man should be put III
office who is not known to be capable
and honest. 1t will take all our votes
to keep some out OF office who are
neither capable nor honest. The way
to be sure is to vote the Democratic
ticket straight. There is not an in
competent man ON it, nor one who is
not honest. No man should be
elected who has not the
necessary time at his command to de-
vote to the duties of his office.
Our opponents have put up candidates
whose private duties are SO engrossing
as to preclude the possibility Of their
giving sufficient attention to their
public duties. 1t will require the vote
OF every man who has the welfare OF
the city at heart to elect such men
to stay at home and attend to their priv
at affairs, and to elect the Democratic
candidate to an office TO which he will
devote his time and energy. No
man should be elected to office
who will use that office to practice
jobbery in the city. If city funds ale
squandered every taxpayer will
be the loser, and every
honest laborer will be the loser. The
property holders taxes and the labor
er's wages should pass through honest
hands. The Republicans have put
up notorious jobbers and men who
will lend themselves to jobbery. 1t
will require host of votes to keep
cattle OF this color out of office. Come
